The company also says that when deciding whether to remove content about public figures, it will assess whether this information is already available in other public media, like TV and newspapers. “This policy is not applicable to media featuring public figures or individuals when media and accompanying Tweet text are shared in the public interest or add value to public discourse.”īut in the case of public figures, Twitter clarified that it may remove content intended for harassment in line with its existing policies against abusive behavior, which also ban sharing non-consensual nude images. “When we are notified by individuals depicted, or by an authorized representative, that they did not consent to having their private image or video shared, we will remove it,” Twitter wrote in its update. But if a person depicted wants the media taken down, Twitter will take it down. This doesn’t mean that Twitter will require consent from all individuals in a photo or video before its posted. Publishing people's private info is also prohibited under the policy, as is threatening or incentivizing others to do so.
